Add to GR Button

In 1859, ladies of New York society were expected to do three things well: find a husband, organize a smooth-running household, and have children.

Rosemary Fitzpatrick’s agenda is very different. As the author of the popular Harry Hawk dime novels, she must hide her true identity from her new publisher, who assumes the person behind the F. P. Elliott pen name is male. She must pose as his secretary in order to ensure the continuation of her series. And in the midst of all this subterfuge, her mother is insisting that she become a debutante this year.

Henry Cooper is not the typical Boston Brahmin. Nor is he a typical publisher. He’s entranced by Mr. Elliott’s secretary the moment they meet, and wonders how his traditional-thinking father will react when he brings a working class woman into the family. Because his intentions are to marry her, regardless.

Rosemary’s deception begins to unravel at the Cotillion ball, when Henry recognizes her. The secretarial mask must come off, now that he knows she is a member of New York society. But she can’t yet confess who she truly is until she knows if Henry will accept her as F. P. Elliott.

The more time they spend together, the closer they become. But when Rosemary reveals her true identity to him, will Henry be able to forgive her or has her deceit cost her the man she loves?

  2. I like this premise! It's sad that so many women authors had to hide their gender to be taken seriously.

  3. Yet one more thing of that time period that women were not "allowed" to do: write books. I have read other novels with that same scenario, such as Julie Klassen's "The Girl in the Gatehouse." They had to do this in secrecy and use another name. There were also women who wrote columns for newspapers and had to use a nom de plume. So, how wonderful it is today that women can proudly write whatever they want, use their own names and actually be applauded for it! Three cheers!

    This book sounds very intriguing and I am looking forward to reading it. I have added it to my Wish List. Thanks for spreading the word.
